Lastly, I am not sure if you are referring to the Junior League as the organization that "some may view as snobby", since I know you are in JLT (and I was in JLC until I moved) but 99.9999999% of Canadians will not even know what Junior League is; they'll think it's Junior Achievement or something to do with sports and kids, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I'm just saying...is all.

For the political stuff: I currently have "volunteered for political campaigns at all three levels of government". No party is specified. As for the Junior League, I would think that it would depend on where I am looking for work. I have sent resumes to the States as well.
